Photo Oak Boards

Getting dirty! I spend a ton of time preparing all the wood before you place your order! I am going to give you a peak at what I do for preparation before we design and add your photo's to the wood boards. Here is how it's done! 

1)I purchase oak boards 

2) I cut all the boards to the sizes I offer. Notice I buy thick boards! 

3) I measure and drill a keyhole in the back so you can hang them flush against the wall or sit them on a shelf. 

4) I sand each board with my belt sander then I hand sand each board with a soft sandpaper. 

5) All the sides should be smooth! 

6) I add my logo to the back of each board

7) I stain each board a dark english walnut

8) I use a tack cloth to wipe each one down. Now I am ready to seal them! I use a satin or semi gloss polyurethane. I coat the back of each board 4 times. I soft sand between each coat giving 12-24 hours to dry between each coat. My counter stays full for a few days!! 

​All finished and ready for your design! After you send me your order, it will take another 3 days to finish the top. These are truly made to last for many of your generations! These become a nice heirloom and gives a new look to your decor!
